Education Shifts Wiki Project


We are in the process of creating a wiki (a collaboratively created web site) on the topic of historical educational shifts.
Each of you will create a single page on the wiki with an educational shift. You will make a link on the home page to your shift page.

Home Page: Make sure you put your link under the appropriate subcategory (who are schools for; the purpose of ed; how government is involved). Include the date. Make sure it is listed in chronological order (older ones first, newer ones last).

Shift Page: Include the following:
  • Title
  • Description/Overview
  • Answer 3 questions (What we believed before….; What we believed after….; How do schools still act as if we have the “old” belief?)
  • At least 3 references (linked)
  • Every time you edit, make a note at the bottom about what change you made

Rubric for Page:
  1. Novice - Some of these: Page exists. Little or no information. Perhaps overview, but 3 questions not addressed. Fewer than 3 references.
  2. Developing - Some of these: Brief overview. Brief resounces to questions. fewer than 3 linked references. Not all editing sessions documented with notes.
